To get the concept straight: these are things that men can identify themselves with to actually call themselves "asshole" to me. They can be called these things by other people and they CAN use it to identify themselves as long as the appropriate amount of irony and eye-rolling are employed.
auteur- it reeks of pretension, the best part of living in Iowa is the lack of that.
Renaissance Man-No one even knows what that really means:jack of many trades, master of none
Bon Vivant- I grant a one-person only exemption to Kinky Friedman.
Stud- This is something no mind minds being called, ironic or not. But call yourself one, and you've reached creepiness on a lecherous gym teacher levels. It's almost like a magic spell that instantly grows a mustache on your face and makes you sweat baby oil. FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T DO IT!!
Feminist- Remember, it's when men identify themselves as such. Henry Rollins said it best, "Old people have no idea what it's like being young and men have no idea what it's like to be a woman." It's one of those things that seems good on paper, but every man that I've never known that called themselves a "feminist" was completely full of shit, including myself.
Any astrological sign- unless, like I said, irony is properly engaged. Just remember, it's a slippery slope.
Intellectual- I am not anti-intellectual person, just a anti-someone-calling-themselves-an- intellectual one(otherwise known as the Lisa Simpson Syndrome, by me). During a conversation, a girl I worked with called someone she knew a "pseudo-intellectual". I told her all intellectuals are pseudo, they are just ignorant in a different way. There is a lot to be ignorant of in this world.
